  • Bonjour,
    Dans un premier temps, il est conseillé de consulter votre médecin généraliste ou médecin du sport. Celui-ci pourra évaluer si une imagerie médicale est nécessaire (radiographie ou échographie), initier un traitement médicamenteux (anti-inflammatoires), proposer une adaptation de la charge et éventuellement recommander des séances de kinésithérapie.
    Si ces premières étapes n’apportent pas d’amélioration, il est préférable de consulter un physiothérapeute ou un chirurgien orthopédiste.
